Abstract

When we look at our political landscape today, I wonder where has our integrity gone? Teachers want to know how to explain (if that’s the right word) the language and behavior of the current American president to children in their class. He lies, he is rude and inconsiderate; he bad-mouths people and makes fun of people with disabilities. And classroom teachers not only teach certain disciplines; they also teach the need for civil discipline. The latter seems to be lacking with the current president. How do we teach for integrity in a time, which seems to be totally lacking in any true sense of integrity.
